In Marrakech, New Art Fair and Museum Make Case for an Intriguing Future; Andy Battaglia; Art News
It may well be that settings for people-watching can get no better than an art fair in a grand Moroccan hotel. The milling in and out of La Mamounia Palace in Marrakech was a sight to see last weekend in the midst of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair: locals and travelers alike taking up their stations amid bountiful orange trees and swaying palms, with a lot of dashing fashion on display. Sounds and scents stirred the senses more, from clacking traffic noise drifting over top the hotel’s gated walls to a dizzying mix of floral aromas whirled together with notes of citrus and gasoline.
Inside, art from 17 galleries filled booths at the first edition of 1-54 in Africa, after previous incarnations of the fair dating back to 2013 in London and New York. “We wanted to do 1-54 since the beginning on the African continent—that was always our plan and ambition,” said Touria El Glaoui, the fair’s founding director.

Marrakech Morocco’s Red City
Mystical, marvelous Marrakech (also spelled Marrakesh). In my mind it is a somewhat exotic destination with a mystique all its own. And honestly, I think that’s why you go Marrakech, either you are drawn to visiting or you’re not. For many people it is on the bucketlist and if you are like us, it was on it forever!
It doesn’t have any famous tourist attractions, no world class museums, and not many reasons to go there other than it’s Marrakech. And we loved it!
Nicknamed the “Red City” or “Ochre City”, Marrakech’s buildings and city walls all share a lovely, red or ochre color. If it were a modern phenomenon you might think some paint company sponsored the town!

Jemaa el-Fna The Heart of Marrakesh; Farah S Kamal; Mag The Weekly
I entered through Bab Doukkala, an old city gate built in the 12th century to the Northern side of Medina. Walking through a maze of souks, I reached the square of Jemaa el-Fna, “la place” or “the square” as it is called in Marrakesh. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is a city centre and by all means a comprehensive Moroccan cultural hub. The cacophony of sights and sound at this triangular shaped place attracts tourists from all around the world. It is a robust meeting place for Moroccans, busy merchants and engaged street performers. Together they all appear to be part of a beautifully choreographed live cultural performance right out of the Arabian Night tales.
